wanted to see if anyone else is getting crappy long vibro axes made. I have had 3 made so far good damage 120 min and 455 max but the ham cost on it is horrible. Anyone have anything better my ham cost is 91,31,61. Very horrible if you dont have a buff. Im on the tarquinas server and you have a better one for sale i will pay good money to get one made.

Your LVA seems excessively heavy on the mind, as if action and mind were switched. Other than that, the numbers are roughly what the standard is. Theplayer-made LVAI have equipped right at the moment is 83/66/29, for comparison.

that LVA is .....weird man.....it has very high max damage...but the gap between min and max is off....the min should be closer to 135 for you......and HAM should hava a nice 90/70/30 ratio going for it......

thats...weird.....just wierd

115-377 4.4 is the base stats i'm working with on shadowfire, and with max-ham vibro-blade parts and some more ham thrown in to build i wind up with around 78/62/26 or so.... of course we have 1000shock duralloy on our server so that helps a bit... but that leaves you with -54 to-hit, which many peopl ecan't deal with (-38 is my best accuracy LVA)

And...I still lose ungodly amounts of ham with very little effect. our dam multipliers have to be the lowest of any profession, while our hams remain high.

Hit the nail right on the head, our dam multipliers ARE the lowest of any brawler profession, many master pikeman on my server (eclipse) do a KD+warcry and then just autoattack since the multipliers don't do squat besides waste HAM

oh and can't forget our actionhit2, I've heard rumors that it does bleeds over around 5k? I only have actionhit1 right now and on creatures have had bleeds of 1200, only thing I've seen that's actually favorable to a pikeman so far

hello im Obus on eclipse server. i have been master pikeman since day one, so thats along time. best thing for a pikeman is just speed ONLY. i do more damage in shorter amount of time rather than the norm with a 4.4 or so speed. i buy 6 or 8 LVA, have them all sliced for speed hopefully. i have had a 2.3 speed with a powerup for speed, and thats the fastest u can get on a player made LVA. so this way u dont have to worry about your ham costs, and u can just bleed them with action bleeds , and they drop pretty fast. i can kill something with 4 bleed hits, and just use a normal attack with a 3.1 speed or faster than a master commando. try this and see how it works. i am known as a elder of pikeman skill on eclipse cause i have been pikeman for so long.

it's not only a long time but also most likely one of the fastest experienced ever gained I believe

Speed is very good, of course, but at master we have enough speed bonuses that a 4.4 speed LVA hits fast enough at autoattack. I only go for damage now, I throw away speed slices. And if you're just using bleeds, don't you think you could drop them faster if you had more damage? Basically, at master, we're pretty fast, fast enough that a 2.3 speed LVA is below the time delay for specials so it won't make a difference. You can see a difference between a 4.4 and a 3.0, but I personally much prefer having the extra damage.
